possibile che è cosi difficile leggere un hd esterno da linux??!!!
l' hd in usb da hardy viene visto come /dev/sdc di conseguenza sdc1..x le varie partizioni . Se in unione all' hd ti servi di altri dispositivi usb , buona regola usarli sempre sulla stessa porta sulla quale sono stati configurati inizialmente.
Non è per niente difficile , il mio lo uso per test giornalieri delle varie distro in uscita , normale amministrazione rigirarci 4-5 distribuzioni in un sol giorno , starei lustro.
